It still baffles me that someone would voluntarily use a fountain pen beyond school-age. Be like going to a fight with one hand tied behind your back. The only one of my contemporaries I know who actually liked using one, became a teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary - it is like going to a fine shoot with a pair of best quality s/s guns that fit like a glove. I have always used a fountain pen, though mostly a relatively modest one (despite owning some upmarket ones). It's a bit I use my AyA more than any other - rather than any of the English guns I have available. I also use pencil and (occasionally) a ballpoint (for convenience). I loathe rollerballs, but that is just my personal dislike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, I still use it when at home I want to make notes in pencil whe usually part of an incoming or outgoing telephone call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
